I got my new passport today and it expires in 2016. I'm lucky I guess because Algore says that since we'uns didn't buy into the Kyoto BS, our world is going to end in ten years (i.e., 2016). So, I'm lucky, I didn't buy any passport years that won't be used, thanks Algore. Please run again.

LMBO! I wondered if there would be a "manbearpig" reference on the thread. The vidcap is a big bonus. Nice!

Yet since Al Gore was offered the opportunity to facilitate serious debate on the underlying science of global climate change, 4 months and a half have elapsed.

What were the details of the offer (who, where)?

The question now is whether the documentary, with the potential to reach millions of people instead of a roomful of listeners at a time, can do the job.

The answer is No. At best, this will come across as just one more disaster movie, and people are desensitized to them. I expect this "movie" to flop fast.

IIRC, it was the coldest recorded temperature for that date.

Mark Bellings, the substitute host for Rush Limbaugh today, nailed it, IMHO. Gore will get an Oscar for best documentary. Instead of a new book or other some such occasion for a media event, Gore has an Oscar winning documentary. The Moveon.org types will swoon.

I heard that the first title of Al's movie was a bit wordy, so they cut it down. It was originally called:

"An Inconvenient Truth: How Science does NOT support the theory of global warming, and how we've gotten past that so far by re-eduating impressionable people with questionable psuedoscience."

Luckily, the ManBearPig hunter was never famous for letting good research ruin policymaking.

Hey, Al! What's the size of your carbon footprint?
